“…Studies consistently reported that mental health worsened among parents during the lockdown. Parents with one or two children reported lower levels of mental health compared to people without children [ 35 ]. Depression and anxiety increased among mothers compared to the pre-lockdown period [ 36 ], and mothers reported higher scores during the lockdown when compared to fathers [ 37 ].…”

“…Studies consistently showed the presence of gender disparities in the distribution of paid and unpaid work during the lockdown. While both mothers and fathers reported spending more hours per day on housework and childcare during the lockdown than before, women reported spending more hours than men in unpaid work, perpetuating or aggravating an already unequal pre-pandemic distribution of tasks [ 35 , 48 , 86 , 93 – 96 ]. Mothers had to organize childcare and home-schooling and complete household chores much more often than fathers and, consequently, they had much less time for paid work, for themselves, and to focus on their career, and they felt more often exhausted, nervous, and insecure than fathers [ 65 , 90 , 97 ].…”

Objectives: The aim of this scoping review was to map out the existing evidence of the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on parents of children and adolescents. We sought to: 1) identify parenting domains that were particularly affected by lockdown measures, 2) describe the challenges and opportunities of lockdown measures in these domains, and 3) define protective and exacerbating factors modulating the effect of lockdown measures on parents.Methods: We identified five main domains investigated in the context of parenting during the early COVID-19 lockdown derived from 84 studies: health and wellbeing, parental role, couple functioning, family and social relationships, and paid and unpaid work. For each domain, we listed challenges and opportunities, as well as discriminant factors.Results: The lockdown impacted all five different but interconnected domains, introduced new roles in parents’ lives, and particularly affected women and vulnerable populations.Conclusion: This scoping review highlights the importance of approaching public health policymaking from a social justice perspective. Such an approach argues for social and public health policies to promote health accounting for its social, economic, political, and commercial determinants.

“…Al igual que en otros estudios (Egan et al, 2021;García et al, 2020;Mazzucchelli et al, 2020), en la presente investigación se encontró que las mujeres solían estar más sobrecargadas con las responsabilidades de las labores domésticas, trabajo, cuido de la niñez y acompañamiento en las clases virtuales. Tal como lo mencionó una de las madres, eran "mamá maestra, mamá trabajadora, mamá esposa, mamá de quehaceres".…”

La pandemia por COVID 19 generó consecuencias en la niñez. La afectación a nivel social y psicológico se reflejó mundialmente debido a cambios como la ausencia de clases presenciales y el traslado de la educación a los hogares. Esto no solo significó un reto para la niñez, sino también para las familias y para las instituciones educativas a cargo del desarrollo de la regulación emocional de esta. Esta investigación, de corte cualitativo y abordada según la teoría fundamentada, analiza el papel de los factores protectores y riesgosos relacionados con el desarrollo de la regulación emocional en niñez de 4 y 5 años, que estuvo presente durante el contexto de la educación remota por motivo de la pandemia por COVID-19 en el año 2020. Para esto se realizaron 5 entrevistas virtuales con personal de una institución educativa, con 2 madres de estudiantes que estuvieron en preescolar en el año 2020, y con un grupo focal de 5 madres. Además, se realizó una actividad presencial de aproximadamente 40 minutos con dos grupos de estudiantes, a quienes se les enseñó el cuento “Monstruo de colores” para conversar e identificar emociones. Asimismo, se abrió un espacio para pintar y desarrollar un diálogo con el fin de conocer la perspectiva de la pandemia y el etiquetamiento de emociones que poseían. Se concluyó que, de manera similar a estudios internacionales, esta situación desencadenó cambios en rutinas cotidianas, alimentación, sueño, socialización con pares y cambios en las emociones de la niñez. A su vez, para las familias, supuso asumir un nuevo rol como personas educadoras para el cual no estaban preparadas. Se identificaron factores protectores y riesgosos como la escucha y el diálogo de las emociones, la comunicación entre familia y escuela, el apoyo en el proceso educativo, entre otros.

“…In September 2020, schools and childcare services were reopened with rigid protocols to protect the health of children, parents and teachers, and despite some new lockdowns during the ‘'second wave’ (October 2020–February 2021), the in‐presence activity for younger children was a priority for the government, and services remained open (Sabatinelli & Pavolini, 2021 ). In order to help parents in reconciling work and family care, in 2021 the government made efforts to keep early childcare services open as much as possible; these policies, however, failed in supporting working parents and children, while at the same time not helping to reduce gender and generational inequalities (Mazzucchelli et al, 2020 ; Naldini, 2021 ).…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic has caused disruptive changes across different life experiences essential to children's growth and development, including early childcare services and schools, thus threatening precious opportunities for children in early childhood to learn. The pandemic has also undermined the collaborative and alliance relationship between childcare services and families which has been widely considered an important aspect of modern services. This paper presents and discusses results from a mixed‐method exploratory study with early childcare services for children between 0 and 6 years in Italy in 2021, involving both teachers and parents, to understand experiences, educational practices put in place in childcare services, feelings, resources and risks perceived by families and teachers.
